Northwest Trek
 

Will be flying into Seattle and driving down to Mt. Rainier just for the day. See that Northwest Trek is "on the way" and was wondering if it's worth stopping at for a few hours before going to Mt. Rainier.

It's been several years since we have been there, geeezz,thinking back, MANY years, the kids where just babies, so like 23 24 years ago..anyhow, if its still there, I guess it must be doing something right. Back then it was great!! Its like a zoo with no cages, just one big fence around the park. They take you thru in trams and its like seeing the animals in the wild,,have to keep your eyes open, Deer, elk. moose, had a few carabou,(sp)<BR> a wolf and bear encloser. Birds of pry area. Well worth the trip.

Thought when we DROVE thur ourselves and buffalo came right up to the car and started to put his head in the window. They may have stopped passenger cars from driving thru due to insurance reasons. Or maybe I was in some other place..But we have pix of the buffalo almost in the car..

Fred is correct. I think "fun" is thinking of the Olympic Animal park.<BR>They let you drive thru there, but never at NW trek.<BR>

After 9 months of rain and gloom in Oregon we're always ready for the sun. Last year we spent a couple of weeks in Florida and it was great fun because it is so completely different. We also enjoy the history of the east. We hope to make the trip to the Northeast states very soon.
